Police after midnight Saturday arrested a 43-year-old Stamford man and charged him with driving under the influence.
At about 1:33 a.m. on Jan. 18, an officer on patrol saw a car run a flashing red light after exiting the Merritt Parkway’s Exit 36 off-ramp, according to a police report.
The vehicle turned up Old Stamford Road and was stopped at Jelliff Mill Road, the report said.
During the stop, the officer smelled alcohol on the driver and found other signs of impairment, it said.
After administering field sobriety tests, the man was charged with the misdemeanor DUI offense, the report said. He refused to submit a breath sample to help establish his blood-alcohol level, it said.
Police additionally cited the man for failing to stop at the flashing red light.
He was released on $300 bond and scheduled to appear Jan. 28 in state Superior Court.
